Dear friends, do you faint under life’s crushing waves
And bear heavy burdens and groan
Then cast all your cares on your father who saves
and tenderly cares for his own
Dear friends, do you fear as the enemy roars
As trials and temptations abound
Then stand firm in faith and hold on to the Lord
Who holds all his saints all around
For once you have suffered this brief passing hour
The God of all glory and grace
Shall surely restore you and raise you in power
To rest in the light of his face
